Nigel Adkins has admitted Hull City have offered Allan McGregor an extended contract to stay at the KCOM Stadium beyond the end of the season.

Despite playing all but one of the club’s Championship games this season, McGregor is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal with the club and is currently amongst a host of players entered the final months of their contracts.

The Scottish international has been in fine form for the Tigers and even captained the side during Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday and as such Adkins is keen not to lose the stopper this summer.

The head coach revealed McGregor has been offered a new contract, but any deal to keep him at the club another season at least is yet to be agreed.

“We’re having conversations with all the players, I think there’s eight out of contract,” Adkins said. “There’s Allan McGregor who I pick every week and I want him to stay.

“We’ve spoke with Allan. Allan has been offered contracts but obviously it has to be right. He’s a Bosman, all these players we’ve talk about experienced players who are out of contract are on Bosmans effectively and they have to get the best deal for them. That’s the business side of it, it’s not a problem.

“Allan trains every day spot on. But they have to get the business right for them as well, they are at the latter stage of their careers, they have agents and representatives and business has to be right, but in the meantime, they are still getting picked, still training hard every day. That’s life.”
